Internet Research Group Publishes
Research Study
On Desktop Delivery and Virtual Desktops
Los Altos, CA – December 12, 2008 –
Internet Research Group (IRG) today announced the release of its latest
report on technology infrastructure, “Desktop
Delivery & Virtual Desktops: An IRG Overview.”
On the heels of the success of server
virtualization many organizations are giving serious consideration to
desktop virtualization. Many vendors, large and small, are competing for
their share of this emerging market category.
“Virtual Desktops is an important but
confusing topic,” noted Peter Christy, co-founder of IRG. “Virtual Desktops
is one of many Desktop Delivery solutions. These solutions are all motivated
by a need to reduce the lifecycle cost of PC ownership dominated by
administrative and support costs. But when you consider the economics and
performance issues, it becomes clear that no existing solution is ideal and
that different applications will favor different approaches.”
This report creates a simplified but
meaningful framework for considering these market opportunities,
understanding the technical solutions and anticipating the relative
importance of the different approaches.
Vendors directly impacted by the Virtual
Desktop market include Citrix, Desktone, HP, IBM, EMC, Microsoft, PanoLogic,
Parallels, Quest Software, Sun Microsystems, Virtual Iron and VMware.
